Hey guys, im going to be blacking out my headlights, not sure how much but for sure getting rid of the orange reflector, probably do almost full blackout.

I couldnt find what kind of paint to use, just said something preferably for plastic.


Here are a few choices i found:

1. Black glossy paint for plastic, does not need sanding or primer
2. Semi gloss black enamel for high heat, and primer in a separate can
3. Flat black enamel for high heat, and primer to go with it.

Tips on which one would be best to go with? I definitely dont want to be taking them apart again.

 

get Duplicolor Black Primer, and Duplicolor Trim Paint. available at the average autoparts store in a spray can.

its the best results i've seen with painting headlights. comes out to a nice smooth clean black that doesnt look dry like flat black, and doesnt look wet like glossy black. just perfect.

 

Sounds sexy =P. Ill check it out tomorow. thanks

 

Krylon makes a excellent paint and they have one called Fustion for plastic, I generally use the Satin/Semi gloss, but havs also used the High Gloss. Let it dry 24 hours at least

 

sorry to jump in but im doing the same but im scared on what would happen to the paint if i place it back in the oven

 

Heat will be fine --as a matter of fact tends to "set" the paint justwatch temps

 

thanks man appreciate it

 

hmm, not sure what to do now. I had the Krylon gloss black for plastic and i just went and exchanged it for duplicolor acrylic flat black and black primer...

which one should i go with?
